Popis: A series of 44 samples of bone wedges of human origin, intended for allograft openwedge os- teotomy and obtained without particular precautions during hip arthroplasty were re-examined. After viral inactivity chemical treatment, lyophilisation and radio-sterilisation (intended to produce optimal health safety), the compressive strength, independent of age, sex and the height of the sample (or angle of cut), proved to be too widely dispersed (10−158 MPa) in the first study. We propose a method for selecting samples which takes into account their geometry (width, length, thicknesses, cortical surface area). Statis- tical methods (Principal Components Analysis PCA, Hierarchical Cluster Analysis, Multilinear regression) allowed final selection of 29 samples having a mean compressive strengthmax = 103 MPa ± 26 and with variation (61−158 MPa). These results are equivalent or greater than average materials currently used in openwedge osteotomy.
